Damn near hit the nail on the head when I said I used Sil-glyde break grease last video. I am a mechanic and love the stuff. You can also use that brembo break grease to put on rubber bushing parts. It will make car suspension points squeal less and it protects the rubber from moisture and heat. You can put it on anything rubber really. Also the cables for your outboard motor to make them last longer and turn smoother. I am going to get a Kestrel now and use my Psicifun as my backup reel. Nice find.
Brembo makes grease too? Cool! : ). I had a 1997 Maxima and a 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT back in the day, both with stickshift, and had real brembo brakes in both of them. Most people in this video probably don't even know what brembo brakes are : )
By the way im gona buy some of that Syl-Glide break grease now, because of u. I do my own brakes on 3 cars and want to try it..
@@ifishcatfishYour going to fall in love with stuff. It is like duct tape or wd-40 but for the auto mechanic world. It just does everything well. It is the gold standard for my industry. For the guy that fixes cars the correct way anyhow.
Fantastic information as usual Victor. Guess I am going to be hitting your site for grease and jig heads soon. Always appreciate your content sir, please keep the coming! That drag sounds phenomenal now that you have given it the once over!
Glad you can see that there is some quality from the CDM spin market
kastking sells a lot more in US than china.. i don't think its cdm
Id love to see a video tutorial of how to make felt drag washers!
its not worth making them. The washers cost like 1 dollar even in Japan. It is the shipping that is the problem..
I would love more imformation like model no. the proper name of this ,and what reel they use these on@@ifishcatfish
@@ifishcatfish true, the shipping was the problem, i couldn't find any felt washer in my marketplace region
an education on what actually felt washer material would be good i guess, we could make it ourselves a felt washer the next day
@@sausagefingers385 u can buy felt anywhere but usually normal felt is too soft and not as thick and consistent. The felt in drag washers is not normal felt
So I bought the exact setup as you have here. I know where to get your grease but what felt do I need and do you have any for sale?
unfortunately i don't sell my felts.. i bought them from japan and don't want to order again. But i know people find them cheaper on ebay and stuff..
Amazing clinker sounds
Thank u!
@@ifishcatfish tolong beri kami rekomendasi joran ultra light (rod) merk Eropa tapi yang di jual secara resmi untuk pasar Asia,
Great job!
I actually did that too for one of my Kestrals, but I couldn't find a felt ring so I made one myself. It came out looking terrible.
Haven't got a chance to try it yet, because I haven't gone fishing ever since the war started here in Israel.
Hopefully it will work as well as yours. I remember I really hated the drag performance!
They have them in japan but..
So carbon disc comes out felt disc goes in? Tslkin to someone whos mad its making noises and refered him here but if he doesnt wanna do it im probably getting a half iff kestrel
Yes sir. Carnon out felt in
Here in Southern California we use Cal's Drag and Reel Grease for gears and for carbon fiber drags discs (light coat on all washers metal and carbon fiber). Cal is a decades old world famous company that blueprint/modifies large Penn and other reels for performance beyond stock and maker of fantastic drag and reel gear grease. Cal's grease holds up with incredibly smooth drags for fish from a few ounces to hundreds of pounds. They have original tan and low temp purple. I use purple for smaller reel drags. Used with factory "carbon" drags or combined with Smooth Drag replacement Carbontex washers (available for most models of major companies reels) you get a super smooth drag from initial start to full button down...at a very reasonable price. I haven't tried the grease here but I assume it is top notch as well.
I have Cal's brown grease. I am not going to comment on your other points but I GUARANTEE that Cal's grease will NOT slow down a surging carbon disk. The properties of Cal's grease, even just on first look, are not appropriate for slowing down surging drag.
@@ifishcatfish Not going to take over your blog as I respect your views and time. I bought 3 Legalis (2 1000 & 1 1000 and 3 Presso rods (1 7', 2 7'6") because of your reviews as well as your Legalis bail bearing upgrade. For many of us Cal's grease is excellent for Carbon drags....Smooth and strong. We use purple for smaller freshwater reels especially spinners. I do not recommend original tan for smaller reel drags. We fish ultra light for trout to bluefin tuna over 200 lbs and our drags have never let us down. As I mentioned I am sure your grease is top notch. Thanks for all you do
@@kendebeer6080 And i was careful not to talk about product i have never seen... However the Tan grease is soft and slippery and will not help with surging of carbon disks. I think it is good for your applications where you want it to protect the carbon washer from premature wear, but in my case i am looking for consistency, not protection
@@ifishcatfish It is all good. Your excellent TH-cam channel. I will leave it at that. thank you
Great follow up video thanks
my pleasure
Wow! What an improvement in the drag. Well done. Also didn't realize the price of the reel went up so much. Got mine for $70. [Correction: $70 was for a Kastking Zephr NOT a Kestrel. Sorry for the confusion.]
how long ago, if i may ask?
@@ifishcatfish October 2022 on Amazon
Great video Vic!! Again keep em coming brother. Also I did you your ifish grease on both my Kestrel and my Zephyr SFS reels from KastKing, and it helped 💯 % of the drag slip. Seemed to hold-up better for me when the Temps were lower in the early am hours. But again, as always,great content and tips. The drag on your Kestrel sounds close to my Diawa Presso Ltd reel, after your grease tip..
I also wish KastKing would offer the reel handle in a shorter length like my Daiwa Presso reel. I think it would make the reels, stand out more, or dare I say more enjoyable like my Presso reels.
I hate to tell u but on carbon u have to reapply from time to time because it doesnt have fleece to hold it. If u put it on felt it holds it a long time but carbon is hard and it wipes off..
@ifishcatfish I see people say that you shouldn't grease felt, but should use only oil instead. Obviously you seem to believe greasing felt is fine, but do you have any opinions on the matter?
I love that beautiful Lake in beautiful Tennessee
thank you sir!
Good day Mr. Vic, trying to get things in order for the new fishing season, do you know if you will be gettn any more line roller bearings for Shimano Sahara, I had purchased a 2000S the day you had posted it was at a discounted price, also is that one of the reels you took out that “tractor grease”, and put your “Brembo Brake grease in”.. lol…thnx
I ordered a bunch from a new source in China but i really don't know when im gona get them.. At least a month. However, the stock line roller is 100% perfect when brand new. U should not mess with it the first season. I tell everyone but they dont listen. After one season it will get dusty and sticky and u can open it and then use the occasion to swap it.
Where can I get the felt washers? And what size should I order . Thank you in advance. I am gonna order some jigs this weekend
Just fyi Ali express has this reel for $56 dollars
I don't have the felt washer, sorry, i just know that i used the one that was for Stradic CI4+...
After this video, i love this little reel very much....
even better video coming up
Very cool video! Thanks for telling me how to solve the problem. Unfortunately, I can’t buy products from you, I’m planning to make my own washer from felt and now I’m thinking about what kind of lubricant might be suitable. Can you suggest something please?
If u put felt u can use any grease. Just dont but grease for carbon..
@@ifishcatfish Got it. Thanks again
I got some grease from you but not washers. I was not sure that you sold them.
i never had washers for sale. This is the only reel that needs washers... so it doesn't make sense to go order 1000 washers as they will never sell.. OK, its not the only one, there are other chinese reels with carbon that need washers... but my subscribers usually don't buy these reels so at the end i still not gona sell very many..
Anther great video Victor but where can i find the felt disc for this reel.
i bought mine from HedgehogStudios japan, but that was many years ago and i don't see them any more. I am sure a bunch of places have them though. Maybe call shimano USA and buy the part number that is felt for the old stradic CI4+
Where can I buy the fiber Disk and washer Is this something along with the grease from you.?? Thanks Jeff
I am actually not selling these, sorry. I bought mine from hedgehog japan but that place is unresonably expensive. At least the shipping is. U can peobably find them cheaper somewhere
Vic, will you be offering felt disc’s via your online shop? Great content as always brother. Appreciate all of your efforts!
I would love to, but i don't know where to get such thing. There is plenty of felt on the market, but the fishing felt is actually higher quality and i dont know where to get that..
Understandable. If you are able to source the appropriate offering for sale it will most definitely sell!
Omg Viktor, i will buy your grease🎉❤
GOT YOU! You were so easy to get.. lol : )
I have been looking at this reel. I like the light weight of it. I got a 1000 Revos LT, and I love; another small light weight buget is a Viper 500 by Picisfun. Both are super light and easy to work with on UL rods. If I get this reel I might grease the carbon discs. I have seen another TH-camr grease carbon discs on a baitcaster, but also want to try the felt.
grease is not gona do much, unless its the right grease. U need something to stop the surging. Of course i recommend my grease, but i just don't want u to have the wrong expectation and then get disapointed when u buy it
@@ifishcatfish I will say your content is on point so what equipment or thing you recommend would be good value.
*edit: Took me a minute but I found your website. Going to order when I get the chance.
@@noobpyrotech9991 Let me say this about my products: i know they are not for everyone and not everyone will like them, but i promise you they are completely different than anything else on the US market. I didn't just repaint and resell the same stuff everyone else sells. I hired an engineer, paid for 3D design, paid for new molds, and went around the long way of doing things..
Nice video! I was wondering if Ifishtackle ships to sweden?
I could, as long as u pay whatever the shipping is. I did it for germany and norway already but i can tell u economics dont work. Its cheaper to buy something directly from japan due to lower shipping. But if u really want to see them.. i could do a package
Greetings from finland! Most people here in europe use braid for jigging, I prefer braid for line control in that case but I should try mono it's nice and soft for fingers. I have not tried float fishing with spinning reel. I can imagine the 130g reel feels very lightweight, I have old sahara and it's the smoothest feeling reel I own to reel. I also own 170g abu and affordable daiwa but they are not as smooth feeling, although I prefer them overall they also perform very nicely
Greetings from Beautiful Tennessee, my good Finnish friend! You have some incredible experience in front of u if these are the only reels u have tried. I really recommend getting the new Legalis from Japan!
Victor, watched the first video. I really think the Kestrel looks good on the Presso Rod I now own two a 7" ft and a7'6" That reel matches very well. I like when my rod and reel compliment each other. I would like to order a few of the reels for matching setups. Would you be willing to sell me a few of those fiber washers, willing to pay you double or triple the price. I saw where another angler was asking about buying some. Maybe might be another item to add to your expanding part listing. If you can locate something suitable. I would be willing to purchase a pack of 10. And for you to make a few bucks profit for your time. Let me know. Could send money in advance
Thanks
Gary
Gary, i would love to help you but I looked on Hedgehog and i don't see that felt there any more. I bought 50 pieces of felt there for 50 dollars, 20 for vanford, 20 of old stradic CI3+, and 10 for old Legalis.. so if u find them they are dirt cheap. I recommend sending them an email and tell them u want felt for old Stradic CI4+. It is a size used in many other previous gen reels. One good thing about that shop is that they reply to all email next day. I like that.
I have used some of these felts already in other reel experiments and i don't care for a few dollars but i want to be able to experiment when i get some new reel..
I have been thinking about finding quality fishing felt somewhere, but i haven't been able to find it. If i do, i will definitely get some, because even if u have a Vanford, after a year and a half the felt gets overcompressed and thin like paper and fresh felt just feels nicer.
Gary, did u buy this reel? If you want it, email me and i will give u a good deal on mine. It is in perfect shape, better than new.
I’m getting the itch to go ultralight fish👍🏼
watch out - very addicting!
Do you put your grease on both sides of the felt
Yes.
😊😊
Thanks for another Great video.
thanks for a great comment buddy!
Are those bobber slip, any high vis colors?
my floats are mostly under water, so the color of the body doesn't matter too much. But antenna is super high viz
Man I caught about 40 fish friday (bluegill, pumpkin seed, shell cracker, bass) on the bg-1's they are just so nice to use. I did lose one to a snag today and that is hard emotionally 😂. When you can't just pick them up anywhere
u think thats hard emotionally... wait for the moment you lose one of my floats. There will be people going in the water after them, i am afraid.
Seriously... i am afraid people will be going in the water when they snag them and can get in trouble..
@@ifishcatfish good thing I have kids that love to swim 😂😂😆😆 I am just kidding
ordered kestrel on ali for $55. Now I don't know where to get those felt washers
??
Can't even find it on AliExpress
Can you please post a shop link?
I can only find it from the official web page and it says its $119 😂
@@smetljesm2276 "kastking official store". already received the reel and fished for an hour. love it.
How and where do you apply the grease
wipe the old grease from carbon disk with paper towel. Then just smear the new grease all over the carbon and reinstall.
Hi, what is the felt size?
never measured it but its the same as all old shimano reels, like Stradic CI4+ for example
Any idea what the 7' presso rod weighs?
65 grams? Or 72. Something super low like that
This reel good for $60 in Malaysia tiktok shop 😊
how is the line lay on the reel?
With 6 lb line is ok. But with thin line it will kot reach the end of the spool. U can see in forst 3 min of video
@@ifishcatfish I see, that's a shame I thought it was shallow spooled reel
If Shimano claims that a hard drag start and then a loose release is a “feature” for bass anglers they are full of… marketing speak. A sticky, surging drag is and always will be an inferior drag. Keep speaking the truth Victor!
Thank you sir, for this comment! People read them!
So did you suggest the kestrel or legalis / sahara still better than it
My suggestions are still the same but there are exceptions. If u have the presso rod and u value low weight above all then this reel is worth taking a look
@@ifishcatfish presso rod are very hard to come by here in south east asia. We have some nice locally made brand such as Kuying, Relix Nusantara and Rentaka. Might go for Shakespeare's micro 7ft but it depends. Btw does greasing the original carbon drag fix the drag issue
It's a lovely looking reel,
I opted for their valiant eagle II for its lower gear ratio of 5.2-1,
maybe a tad heavier at 143g, though.
Tight lines 🎣
i will check that out too
@@ifishcatfishSame reel, just a little smoother and doesn't have such a nice spool and knob
Ugly spool and all reel - sorry. Like all china reels, excelp some casting reels.
Maybe if u don't have that rod and u don't care for orange... But if u have the rod ..
Someone at your spot is just coincidence, because no one watches your videos.
You spam negativity. Do more with your life.
I watch all his videos. Hope your joking, otherwise your mom wants you out of her basement and for you to get a life.
Your mother watches them though, right after she shaves her third chin
@maxbenneton2328 , @mkrreptiles5163 , @omelettedufromage11 -- such comments don't bother me at all. I know a lot of people say that, but I promise u they really don't bother me. If anything he is the one who has something eating him inside..
One other thing I just saw, this video has 75 thumbs up and 0 thumbs down. The guy didn't even leave a thumbs down so.. all good. The support was heartwarming nevertheless!
